These stylish individuals are indeed quite poor, despite their respectable attire, as they prioritize God over material pursuits. They would much rather chase the holy wisdom of God than the secular materialist trappings of wealth.

They are not your hedge fund managers and shipping magnates, so why the formal style? Simply put, it is a desire to look respectable. These Hasidim would rather pore over an ancient scroll than a stock portfolio.

And so we see dichotomy: The spiritual and the material. To chase one, the other is shunned. More simply: Who do you love? God or the world?
